- randylahey 6y agoI'm the opposite. Back when in my early teens, friends and I would attempt to hijack opposing groups' channels via takeovers during net-splits (and ofcourse having the same done to us). What a time to be alive.
- libraryatnight 6y agoIn the early battle.net days competing clans would split and steal channels. It was tons of fun. Taught me lots about bots, proxies, simple scripting, in the process too.
- stormcode 6y agoOh yeah, those were the days. Causing server splits to get your nick back that was stolen in a previous server split...
- pmlnr 6y agoI do miss them, terribly. Lightweight, fast, brutally simple. Even with splits, it was better, and ever since IRC bouncers exist, like ZNC, they are rock solid.
- dkdk8283 6y agoI spent a few hours setting up a chat client for a reason. Slack takes all this away from me.
